B Group comprises Nos 1-5, 6-8, 9-15A, 16-20, 30, 31 and 31A Trinity Crescent. Trinity Crescent was part of an ambitious scheme (largely unbuilt) laid out circa 1824 on the site of Trinity Mains farm, to comprise 2 concentric crescents and 2 parallel streets (Russell Place and York Road), radiating out from the Chain Pier. Only Nos 6-8, 16-21 and No 31 Trinity Crescent were built at this time. The arrival of the railway in 1845 seems to have blighted the development. No 30 is described on the 1876 OS map as 'Baths,' and the building may have been associated with the popular fashion for sea-bathing and swimming which the arrival of the railway from Edinburgh encouraged.
